Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

Her tear-streaked face and bloodshot eyes were a sight to behold.
She spat, “You’re all the same! Keep your distance!”
And with that, she turned around and departed.
Eddie was rooted to the spot, unable to follow.
Her thoughts were a whirlwind of chaos.
Sabrina moved forward without a destination, her steps faltering.

Galilea’s words held true.
She didn’t accept Galilea’s challenge because she knew defeat was imminent.
Even on their wedding anniversary, Tyrone opted to visit Galilea. He was blind to her humiliation at the hands of his friend.
She had lost, utterly.
How ludicrous!
Just days before, Tyrone had been insistent on honoring his grandfather’s wishes, and yet today, he disregarded them entirely.
Claiming his intention to mend their relationship, he left her alone on their anniversary to be with Galilea.
Eddie had merely mentioned an incident involving Galilea, and without verification, Tyrone hurriedly left.
He didn’t Love her.
From the incident with the ring, it was clear that Eddie had merely provided Tyrone with a pretext to Leave.
It was said that a man’s affection for a woman could be gauged by his friend’s regard for her.
Finally, it dawned on Sabrina. Tyrone’s indifference towards her allowed his friend to belittle her.
However, his deep affection for Galilea ensured his friend’s respect towards her.

Suddenly, a harsh force from behind sent Sabrina tumbling to the ground. Her handbag slipped from her grasp. A man scooped
up the fallen bag and sprinted away.
It took Sabrina a long time to register the harsh truth that she had collided with a thief.
A sharp discomfort emanated from her stomach; she remained frozen, refusing to move.
She had to protect her unborn child. 
Clutching her belly protectively, she waited. When the twinge eventually faded, she laboriously got up and remained rooted,
confused.
